Anyone 'Do' Poetry? Secret Santa Lottery Scratchcard

kathyd_2

We had a £10 budget for our Secret Santa gifts at work recently. My gift cost £8 so I thought I would buy a lottery scratchcard to make it up to £10. It looks a little unfestive all alone in an envelope, so I thought I would try and write a short, humourous poem to write on the envelope and I'm still :wall: with the first line. Would any poets out there care to do the honours? I would be ever so grateful.

I bought you this scratchcard
And wish you lots of luck
But if it wins remember
That where there's brass there's muck!

Not my best effort, sorry!

Can you tell us the persons first name? That might help.

This secret santa extra
is best left not to fester
so take a peek
and you may seek
more fun than that of a jester!

I'm sorry I'm not too good at this but I tried lol!!!

Unfortunately I can't as they did the draw when I wasn't there and the name of the person I had to buy for went missing. I'm having to buy 'blind' myself. The only thing I can tell you that they all have in common, is they drink like a pub full of lords. We're all admin officers in a high school, if that's any help?

And Trow your effort and Nyla's effort are a heck of a lot better than mine :rotfl:

Ok, what about...

Open up to find inside
a bit of Christma cheer
and if you win remember that
It's you to buy the beer!

Or

Scratch the card and you are bound
To find out if you've won
If you have, shout it loud
So we know it's your round!

Some Christmas cards have stars and bells
Some have Christmas trees
lots of snow and mistletoe and santa on his sleigh
This one isn’t festive but I’ve tried to be inventive
I wish you lots of luck on Christmas day

or substitute 'This one isn’t festive but I’ve tried to be inventive' with
This one has no holly but could win you lots of lolly

Quickly open me up and look at this,
If it's a winner, we're all on the p!ss.
Wasn't too sure what else to buy,
So best of luck & give this a try !!!

What do ya reckon of that???!!!
